Luis Suarez to undergo surgery in November to remove synovial cyst from right knee

The problem with the 30-year-old’s right knee is understood to have become particularly troublesome in recent weeks, and according to Diario Sport , Barcelona are keen for their centre-forward to have surgery in November.

The report claims that Barcelona want the former Liverpool forward to go under the knife at the start of next month, meaning that he could only potentially miss one club match due to the scheduled international break.

Uruguay are expected to have a say on the date, however, with the South American nation yet to book their spot at next summer’s World Cup, although a point at home to Bolivia next week would be enough to qualify.

Barcelona will host Sevilla in La Liga on November 4, before returning to action away to Leganes on November 18.
